Leicester City's once-unstoppable machine appears to be coming to a grinding halt. Ten years ago today, they conquered the Premier League after Riyad Mahrez scored a hat-trick at Swansea, sending Jamie Vardy on a record-breaking scoring streak of 11 consecutive matches. The team was managed by Claudio Ranieri, who used unorthodox motivational techniques that defied logic - dubbed "dilly ding dilly dong" - and somehow worked.
Fast forward to today, Leicester are struggling in the Championship, the second tier of English football. Their downfall started after the 2016-17 season when their manager was sacked following an opening-day loss at Hull, a team with no manager. Ranieri's departure marked the beginning of a tumultuous period for the club.
The story took another dark turn with the tragic helicopter crash in 2018 that killed owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and the subsequent financial mismanagement that has left the club on shaky ground, facing potential relegation and heavy fines. The departure of Jamie Vardy last summer - the last remaining link to that magical season - has further crippled their chances.
Their next match is against Derby County, a team also struggling with form and management issues. Leicester's players have been unable to replicate the magic of their 2016 title win, and fans are left wondering what went wrong. The once-mighty Foxes now face the very real possibility of celebrating in League One, far from the Premier League summit they reached just a decade ago.

they were on top of the world 10 years ago and now they're struggling to stay up in the Championship! 
i remember watching them win that Premier League title and it was like magic - claudio ranieri's unorthodox tactics seemed to defy logic but somehow worked!!! 
fast forward to today and it's just not happening anymore... 
jamie vardy leaving was a huge blow and now the club is facing relegation, fines, and who knows what else?! 
this is a dark time for foxes fans! 
... 10 years ago they were unstoppable and now they're barely scraping by 
... I think their downfall was more than just Ranieri leaving, it's like the whole team was lost without Jamie Vardy 
... and now they're facing relegation? that's heartbreaking 
... I still don't get what happened to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, he seemed like such a cool owner 
... hopefully their new management can turn things around and bring back some of that magic 
I feel so bad for Leicester City, man. They were on fire for like 10 years straight and then BAM! Everything just fell apart. Ranieri's tactics might've been weird but I guess that's what made them special back then 
. Jamie Vardy leaving was a huge loss for them, he was like the last piece of that magical season 
. It's like, you can't just leave all that history behind and expect everything to work out again 
.
, ten years ago they won the premier league and it was like magic, claudio ranieri's unorthodox tactics were crazy 
but now its like theyre just tryin to survive in the championship. i remember watchin that 11 match streak from jamie vardy and thinkin how amazing that is 
now hes gone and its like the end of an era.
. fans are gonna be sad when they might have to watch league one footy instead of premier league action 
derby county is not gonna make it easy for them though, that match is gonna be intense
